The Alpha Xi Chapter met at Etowah High School Library at 6 p.m. with 19 members and two guests present.Everyone brought items to sell in the silent auction in an effort to raise at least $50 per member for the scholarship fund — $25 from selling items and $25 from buying items. Eight applications for scholarship were turned in to the scholarship committee, and Alpha Xi is hoping to award three $500 scholarships to three of these eight applicants.After a meal of finger foods, provided by the membership, everyone enjoyed shopping the silent auction. At the end of the auction, members went home with books, clothes, pictures, games and many other items of interest. The scholarship fund was a little richer, and everyone had a great time.During a brief business meeting called to order by President Barbara Morgan, Sammye Hill, fraternity education chairman, announced that Alpha Delta Kappa is building H.O.P.E. for brighter futures by joining with Bridge Builders International to build a school in Peru. also reported that International President Mitzi Holmes had sent a letter of sympathy to the Sandy Hook Elementary School and Community on behalf of all Alpha Delta Kappa Chapters worldwide.The Alabama Alpha Delta Kappa Keys to the Future Fun Day will be from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 11 at Mountain Chapel United Methodist Church in Birmingham.
